Three questions regarding a Swedish Household Record
Questions regarding the image below for Stora Mellösa Parish in Örebro County, A1: 22a Husforhorslangder, 1861-1865, p. 172:
1) Per Andersson is noted as the owner (egare), but what does the 1/4 before his name mean? Is he a 1/4 owner?
2) Parish of birth? (Doesn't seem to match any I can find).
3) The notes show that Per is owner at Egeby No. 1, but what is the 1/2?
1/2 owner? But why 1/2 when before his name it is 1/4?
Thank you!

1) Yes, Per Andersson owns 1/4 of Egeby No 1
2) förs means församling and it means that parish. Per was born in Stora Mellösa parish: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/C0001282_00150
Birth name Pär is same as Per.
3) Per also owned 1/2 of Åkerby No 1.
